I have no idea _why_, but it's consistent, and it bisects down to

  c647f806b8c2 "ALSA: hda - Allow multiple ADCs for mic mute LED controls"

where the previous commit works fine, but that commit definitely
causes the problem.

It still seems to revert cleanly, so I will double-check that a revert
fixes it on current master.
